All a ploy for media attention?

By Cory Bergman 

In its second big scoop, Denver’s KUSA is reporting that the DNA sample taken from John Mark Karr is not a match with the foreign DNA found on JonBenet Ramsey’s body. And charges will not be filed against him in connection with the case. Did Karr dream this up for the media attention? Says Gary Harris, Karr’s family attorney, “He obsesses. He wanted to be a rock star one time. He’s a dreamer. He’s the kind of guy who wants to be famous.” He certainly got his wish. Did the news media go too far in sensationalizing him and/or convicting him? Once again, the JonBenet Ramsey case will spark some serious media soul-searching.
